Print Recipe

A creamy, hearty cheeseburger soup made with ground turkey, milk, cheddar cheese, and high-protein macaroni noodles. This one-pot meal is easy to prepare, nutritious, and perfect for cozy fall days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 2 large carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
  • 1.5 cups milk (2% or whole)
  • 8 oz sharp white cheddar cheese, cubed or shredded
  • Crumbled bacon, green onions, and extra shredded cheese for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add olive oil to a large soup pot and heat on medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook through until no longer pink, about 10 minutes.
  2. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery and sauté for 5-6 minutes.
  3. Add chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer.
  4. In a small bowl, add about ¾ cup of hot broth from the soup pot and 2 tbsp flour. Whisk until smooth with no lumps. Add to the soup slowly and stir until fully combined.
  5. Add pasta and continue simmering until al dente, about 10 minutes.
  6. Very slowly add in milk, stirring constantly.
  7. Finally, add cheese slowly, stirring constantly until cheese is fully melted.
  8. Serve topped with crumbled bacon, green onions, and extra shredded cheese if desired.

Notes

This soup is a comforting, cheesy meal that can be made healthier by using ground turkey and milk instead of heavier ingredients. Stir the cheese in slowly to prevent clumping and ensure a smooth texture. Leftovers store well and can be reheated gently on the stove.
